There are three ways to follow this course:

  • As a graduate course for UofT PhD and MSc students. Students that wish to do so, should not self-enrol here, but enrol using ACORN/ROSI.
  • As a SciNet or Alliance user taking the course for SciNet certificate credits; for that, enrol on this site (note: limited spots).
  • As an auditor following along with recordings but not submitting assignments; for this no enrollment is needed.
